Background. The data suggests that the general population’s health is deteriorating. This generates ever higher cost of healthcare. Fewer well employees generate higher healthcare costs and loss of efficiency. Out of this problem arises the need to prevent diseases more effectively in order to lower the healthcare costs. One of the places where prevention and a health-oriented attitude might work particularly well is the workplace.
Research aims. This research has three main objectives. Those include presenting factors influencing wellness at work (during the course of the literature review), conducting empirical research among employees about their attitudes towards current wellness provisions, and giving tailored recommendations for future development.
Methodology. This research adopts the method of a case study with e-interviews. In total, nine e-interviews were filled out by the employees of the Human Resources Department at Coca-Cola Poland in April 2017.
Key findings. Key findings of this research suggest that the notions of work-life balance and job satisfaction are highly individualised and stress plays a major role in their perception. Moreover, the researched employees paid much attention to the physical environment of the workplace (air condition, lighting, etc.). Also, out of the ones in place in Coca-Cola Poland, the employee benefit of private healthcare was graded as the most important one.
